I feel bad for AJ in the scene early in Season 5. Thanks to Junior pointing out how Tony's small hands resulted in his failure to have the makings of a varsity athlete, AJ didn't get to really dig into that medley of pastas that Janice whipped up.

Little Carmine's word salads and soliloquies are probably my favorite thing on the show. He's an old fashioned guy, very allegorical.

And to his credit, a sympathetic guy. His kindness and understanding towards Phil for whatever happened there was a beacon of light in an otherwise bleak social climate.

I'm reminded of King Louis the whatevah's finance minister...the something. He even outshone Ver Sales.

I wanted to thank the guys who earlier recommended the Talking Sopranos podcast. I am now listening to it while playing my video game and I am really enjoying it.

I enjoyed some of the episodes but thought it could've been so much better with just Imperoli. Bobby often ruins the podcast interrupting with useless information, boring stories and bad jokes.

I am into season 3 now and I agree completely with your thoughts.

The guests they have on are generally great even if it is just a mutual fellatio session by all involved (which is understandable).

Schirripa tries to come off as an every man's good guy but some of the stories he tells makes him look and sound like a piece of ****.

Definitely a top 5 all time intro. And probably a top 25 all time show.

A song with a very similar vibe is Off The Ground by The Record Company
 
The whole Vito story and how obvious it was that Phil was closeted is definitely part of the rewatch I was most looking forward to. Phil literally comes out of the closet for it :lol:

That scene had so many layers and great lines. The look Tony and Phil give each other when Little Carmine mentions the killing of Rusty, and the look Tony and Sil give when Phil laments the missing in action Fat Dom.

A pint of blood costs more than a gallon of gold.

Phil: Fat Dom was last seen in New Jersey

Tony: So was the Hindenburg, you might want to look into that, too

And just when it appears that things have been settled, Little Carmine drops the "whatever happened there" line, and then compounds it by saying, "you know about the shooting", as if Phil needs to be reminded.

Little Carmine's intelligence was off the charts. In a tense sitdown, to spit out pearls of wisdom like, "it didn't have to be this way," is next level stuff.

He drew his inspiration from Darth Jar Jar after a private prescreening, made available to fellow film makers by George Lucas, of the paradoxical film Star Wars : Phantom Menace.

Michael Imperioli is doing an Ibsen play on Broadway. He got interrupted by a protester during a monologue.

He handled it. Maybe not the way Christaphuh would have handled it, but Mike got the job done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcbVZjbj-2A

I'm a bit disappointed. Was really hoping he gave him the JT Dolan treatment.

Imagine if Tony Sirico was still around and had been there to handle it. You can bet he would taken time out of skipping down the street to throw that guy a beatin'.

Wow, can't believe it took you this long. I've done that a few times since. Best thing about the show is it's almost like Seinfeld in that once you watch it, you can just jump in with random episodes/clips and thoroughly enjoy them partly due to the comedic element.

Just when you think you was out, they pull you back in.

I watched a few clips of the Bevilaqua/Gismonte storyline. Top tier comedy in watching these two idiots do absolutely everything wrong in their attempts to ingratiate themselves into the inner circle.

From calling Tony "T" and attempting to start a lame conversation with him at the urinal, and then getting shaken down by Furio because they flaunted their money. Enraging Sil and his cheese puffs.

And most stupid of all, clumsily trying to take out Chrissy--the one and only guy who showed them respect, who tried to show them the ropes.

Contrarily, you let him do his bidding, suavely

Happy 70th birthday to Ray Abruzzo (Little Carmine).

He is at the precipice of an enormous crossroad.

He was the thinking man's mobster. Very allogorical.

I'm glad you caught that. The sacred and the propane.

Little Carmine was a sensitive guy, though. While Tony only cared about his cousin being dead, Little Carmine's heartfelt speech to Phil about whatever happened there was very moving,

Stuff like this is -- in part -- why this show was so awesome and holds up so well today. That entire storyline had lots of humor, and the humor worked really well. But it turns on a dime to one of the more pathetic (literally pathos) murders in the franchise, and it sets up a dramatic story beat that goes on for quite a while. That's superbly good writing.

One of my favorite little touches from that whole storyline was when Tony yells at Sean in the men's room at the Bing. Tony grabbing Sean in a show of aggression, while drying his hands on his shirt at the same time, was such a boss move.

That is a great scene. I love the Bevilaqua kid's intro at the urinal "Hey Tony, how the f*** it's going?"
